He knew that she will surely regret this later or even if she don't he shouldn't see her that way not right now. She is emotionally distressed at the moment that's why she is asking for his help. He took a few steps back as she continued looking down. He tied his handkerchief around his eyes moving closer to her.

He sat down unclasping her bra slowly as she looked at him. Finding his eyes covered, she couldn't help but feel good. The respect she had for him increased so much at this moment as he removed her clothes. He moved his hand trying to reach up for the shampoo which she passed to him. He massaged the shampoo in her hair cleaning it properly slowly continued cleaning her body with the loofa making sure not to make much contact with her skin otherwise he won't be able to control herself and she was not ready for all this at all. Not at this moment.

He made sure she was clean before passing the towel to her.

"Go before I do something wrong", he whispers making her frown but nonetheless she did as asked moving out with the towel wrapped around her with slow steps. He heard the door closing as he leaned against the wall removing the cloth covering his eyes.

"I didn't know I can find something this difficult", he whispered to himself looking at the closed door before taking deep breaths closing his eyes.

He was worried about her more than anything. He changed immediately after taking a cold shower and went back inside his room.

---------------------------------

The following days were really difficult for Arjun more than Tara. The moment when she would wake up crying with all the nightmares at night, he would feel worse for not reaching her on time. For taking so long to protect his angel.

She was scared of every moment around her so he couldn't even go to his office. Not that she was asking him to stay with her but he just knew he needed her. She would stay in the darkness most of the time looking at the space.

It took him so long to get her back to her usual self making her believe that he would always keep her safe. She finally did believe him and started going back to her normal self. He increased her security.

She sighed though she didn't like being caged. But she couldn't do anything. She knew he was just worried for her safety.

She leaned back on the bed trying to think about something else. After asking him so many times, he finally agreed to go to his office.

She could still feel his tender touch on her body when he gave her a bath to her. She knew it was wrong to feel this way about him or was it right thinking like this about him? She thought feeling her face getting red.

He was always so considerate about her needs. He would make sure she was actually fine before leaving.

Just then her phone started ringing pulling her mind out of her wild thoughts. She slapped her cheeks lightly which were so warm as if she was suffering from fever. A small smile covered her lips remembering how her thoughts changed for him.

How she actually start seeing him as her husband? How she start paying attention to his strong biceps and muscular body?

She picked up the call after finding it from Kinshuk.

"Bhabhi Ji", she heard his overexcited voice making her roll her eyes at his excitement.

"Yes Devar Ji", she answered making him laugh.

"How are things going?", he asked.

"Good I guess", she said walking to the window looking outside. It was a sunny day today. She chose to go out and sit in the sunlight for some time.

"Bhai is treating you properly, right?", Kinshuk asked as she hummed.

"Acha your husband is having his birthday tomorrow", Kinshuk said straight away which made her frown trying to understand what she meant which made her eyes wide.

"Are you stupid, Kinshuk? You should've told me before", Tara said.

"Because it is not needed. Bhai doesn't like to celebrate his birthday", Kinshuk said making her frown.

"Who don't like their birthday?", she asked softly.

"Bhai don't. I just told you because I want you to behave properly tomorrow. Bhai stays very angry on this day. You should take every step thinking twice", Kinshuk warned her making her pout.

She hung up after a while. She thought twice before moving to the bed and started searching for new ideas to surprise her husband on his birthday. She wanted to make his birthday special when he was making her every day so much beautiful at least she could do this much for him.

She moved out of the mansion to get a gift for him.

---------------------------------------

She continued waiting for him till midnight but he didn't come back home. She was worried now. He would always come back home early or even if he was late, he would inform her the same beforehand only.

She moved out of the mansion only to be stopped by the security.

"Ma'am, you can't go outside at this time", the security head spoke respectfully.

"But Ji is not home till now", she told him looking around at the security team.

"He is in the office", he answered making her silent.

"Can I please talk to him? His phone is switched off", she told them as they nodded calling the security team with him.

"He is coming ma'am", the same guy said but he looked weird this time.

"Did something happen?", she asked him but they chose to stay silent just then there was a sound of tire scratching.

"He is here, ma'am. Please go inside. He won't like you being out", the same man said which made her frown but she got inside. She did decorate the whole living room for his birthday but now she was scared. She looked around trying to make sure everything was fine.

Just then she heard footsteps. She looked back to find the door opening.

Her smile immediately disappeared as her eyes fall on his stumbling figure. She felt her mind getting blank looking at his messed-up hair and the bottle in his hand.

He looked around at the beautifully decorated table and cake. Then his eyes moved around at the room which was decorated with fairy lights.

"What the hell is this?", he shouted making her jump at her place. His red eyes moved to her as she looked at him with fear.

"You did this?", he yelled at her which made her take a step away from him.

He looked at the cake with furious eyes before taking steps towards it throwing it at the floor making her scream. He pushed the glass table on the floor letting it fall into pieces before falling on the sofa taking deep breaths.

She immediately walked to the kitchen to get a glass of water. She ran back to him settling beside him.

"Please drink water", she said. He stared at the glass than at her before laughing humorlessly.

He shook his head pushing his hair back.

"Go, Tara. Leave. Sleep. Do anything but stay away from me", he said still laughing.

"But you need me", she whispered as he slightly push her away.

"I don't need anybody", he told her making her sad. She stood up from her place making his heart drop. She kept the glass aside before walking back to him helping him remove his jacket seeing the sweat beads on his face.

She wiped his face with the end of her saree. He looked up at her before wrapping his right arm around his waist pulling her towards him letting her fall in his lap.

He pushed her hair behind taking them in his grip making her look directly in his eyes as he pulled her down to him. His lips immediately made contact with hers sucking them like the only thing which could make him sane. She held his shoulder trying to maintain her posture.

It felt weird. He was tasting intoxicating with the rich wine he consumed as his tongue entered her mouth. It was making her feel dizzy as well. He moved behind pecking her lips again before dipping his head in the nape of her neck making her moan softly.

"Why are you making things hard for me, baby", he whispered pinching her waist making her wince slightly. He caressed the same place moving down sucking on the bare skin above her cleavage.

"You are not in your senses", she said in a hoarse voice. He detached his lips from her skin looking into her eyes. He smiled at her innocence before pushing her on the sofa making her lie straight before hovering over her.

"You think that way because you don't know what I want to do with you in my senses", he said with mischief shining in his eyes. She gulped looking at the shine in her eyes which made her look away feeling her toe-curling with his naughty smirk playing on his lips.

"You don't want to do this?", he asked dipping his face in her neck again biting it softly making her moan.

"You are drunk", she just chose to state this only. She tried to push him but he seemed to be heavier than ever. She was about to call him when she heard snores.

She couldn't help but smile at his acts. Though she knew she had to speak to him about his drunk state. Her eyes fall on the destroyed decoration which made her feel pain. He really didn't like celebrating his birthday.

She shouldn't have interfered in this thing. Kinshuk already warned him for the same. Just because he loved her doesn't mean, he would be comfortable in sharing everything with her.

But the bigger question was how will she sleep with him lying on top of her. He was just so heavy and now her hands were also locked around his neck. She felt like a statue right now. She tried to move but nothing worked. After half an hour, her eyes started getting heavier as she fall asleep. She was tired after decorating the whole house and handling her drunk husband.

---------------------------------------

He moved slightly wincing at the sudden pain in his head as sun rays fall on his body. He tried to move only to open his eyes to find himself sleeping on top of a soft figure.

The first thing he did was to move away immediately thinking he did a mistake last night. But then his eyes fall on her face which made him calm. He got up from the top of her. He held his head massaging his lightly when his eyes fall on the reddish marks on her neck which made him frown.

Her lips were swollen as well and the reddish marks covered her upper chest as well which made him feel bad. He felt like he forced himself on her looking at his surrounding.

He started remembering what actually happened last night and finally when he remembered everything he took a sigh of relief realizing he didn't force himself on her. He traced her face with his finger. She got dressed for him. She decorated this for her and he just have to scare her.

He just felt like he ruined everything. He cursed himself for getting drunk like every year.

He should've remembered that he had his baby waiting for him back home. He stood up drinking water from the same glass, she brought last night before picking her up. She opened her eyes slowly looking at him.

"Don't say anything", he told her moving upstairs to their room. She continued looking at his face which was hard. She doesn't remember doing anything which made him this angry.

"I'll take bath in another room", he told her after making her sit on the bed and immediately left before she could say anything. She continued looking at the way, he left. She looked down at the floor feeling incredibly bad at the moment.

She moved inside the bathroom and took a warm bath. Her body was hurting after all a giant was sleeping on top of her. She got out wearing her bathrobe. First, she thought she will wear something simple but then another thought came to her mind.

She cannot sit idle it's his birthday, not just a random day. Even if he doesn't want to celebrate it but she can celebrate it in her way without even him knowing. She smiled at her thoughts.
